Meditations on "Surrender"

When we were trapped in our own personal hell and in bondage to the substance that medicated us, we called out to God.

When we turned our will and life over to God many of us had hope for a quick turnaround in our lives.

Jesus tells us that out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

Jesus came to earth when the nation of Israel was under Roman rule.

When we look at people who appear to have it all together, we envy them, especially when our life is not harmonious or as complete as we would like it to be.

Half measures availed us nothing. We stood at the turning point.

We came into recovery because life as we knew it was not working.

Addiction is a disease of isolation. That’s not news to those of us who have spent time there.

When we turn our will and life over to the care of God, we are admitting that we cannot do life on our own and from this day forward are willing to let God direct our lives.

Jesus is risen from the dead! Because He lives, we also shall live.

Our experience of love and satisfaction in life is tied directly to being obedient to the ways of God.

We often give up on God before His plan, in His perfect timing, takes effect.
